School is on early Easter vacation.
The Campbellville Heroes as we fondly call ourselves
were racing home on our bikes. My bike
“Yellow Bird” was an old model ladies bike fondly called a “Preggie”. With a make, shift wooden bar. On this wooden bar I towed my good friend
Choe Chan. Riding home, we made a screeching
halt by the shave iceman for a snow cone with colorful sweet syrup. This will cool us down from the hot sticky
sun. We hoped to meet Ramdas and Suzie at the D. Y. C. playground. Finally we got to the playground but the
Subryanville Iguana’s had got there before us and had all intentions of {hawking}
the field. With nothing else to do but
wait, we settled under the huge Guinep tree with its large branches and cool
tropical breeze blowing. Ramdas however saved the day “would you believe it he
had a flour bag full of mangoes”. We ate as much as we could. Now it was barging time. We dealt the rest to
the Iguana’s to get them off the cricket pitch. By the time we got home from
cricket, Choe Chan’s mother had prepared for us some Chinese cake with some
cold Sorrel drink. We ate then left and
went to the back of my home to start making our own cricket bats. Sometimes, we made then out of old coconut
branches that had fallen from the trees and at other times out old pieces of
wood we found around our yard. The start of Easter holidays.
